Union Pacific April 1963 Timetable

We’ve previously seen an April 1961 timetable. This one, whose scans were generously donated by Tim Zukas, is similar but naturally there had been a few changes in two years.

One difference is that the City of Las Vegas had its name changed to Las Vegas Holiday Special. The timetable says that the train offered a “Special All-Expense Package, including buffet meals and coach seat reservation.” I think that was true before the name change, but perhaps the name was changed to help convey to people that meals were included in the rail fare. The train also took 15 minutes longer westbound and 30 minutes longer eastbound than it did in 1961.
